Do men get sentimental sometimes about life, love, and death?

In a word, YES. There are many, many movies that will reduce most guys to emotional wrecks...one example is "Field of Dreams". Something about the father/son relationship there just brings all kinds of unresolved emotional issues right to the surface - I don't know many guys who wouldn't have loved to have known their father when he was young. "Up" was somewhat different - My wife and I have been married for 36 years now, and she's been very ill in the hospital for the last six months, and was in a semi-coma at the time and I'll admit that movie damn near killed me emotionally by making me think of what life would be like if I lost her.
